Her core was gold, but she was brash (even about herself when you got to a one to one level). And I think that is one reason we all love her.

She could get you out of trouble, but she would also smack you in the back of your head if you rocked back in one of her chairs. The funny thing is that she was always a child at heart.

Take care,

Les

My wife and I will be, I believe, only the second set of tenants to live in the home since the Forde family moved into the house during the 1920s. Thank you for such a wonderful anecdote about the spirit of the woman in whose home I will be living. (omqe@live.com)
